" i knew tho4e .entnises retpeaing Mr. ,t.eiTer sonto be 7altrtg,ether destitute of, .foundation. have, in the most ioditett manner, suggested or countenanced a belief in Own would have been di re& falsehood. So far from'haVing,, even by my si lence, 'acquiesced in insinuations of that nature, when Mr. Erskine once, and, once only, .dropt a hint to that effect ) , intimating:a supposed hostility to Enjand, and that the President had .not placed her conduit in a fair light`•befere the public, I im mediately repelled the, charge, and amongst other observa ions, reminded him that the only time when the British Gwernment had, by the proposed eqw lization of duties, Made' an ripproich of a liberal andsonciliatory nature towards America, it was im mediately met - -by-the President who had expressly recommended .the subjed to Congress in:his Mvs shge; and that the plat - Iliad been. elefeated by the clams , ur of that parry in America which was con t,idyred time best d s used towards Great Britain That, on that occasion, a change took place in my manncris very probable ;• but Mr. Erskine has as-; • crihed it to a source veiY different fro•n that which occasioned it... I had very l.tely been zealonsly ployed in repelling the charge ; a ,charge wl►icth I never could hear without icdignation. Eight ,years of the most intimate intercourse, during which not an ad nor. hardly a thought relpeding the foreign relations of America was concealed, enable . rite confidently t0 : .,-ay, that Mr. Jefferson never had, in that reseed, any other objeet in view, but the ,pro tedion of the rights of the United States against every foreign aggression or' injury, from whatever nation it proceded, and has; in every instance, ob seived towards the Belligerents the most strkt jus tice and the most scrupulous impartiality. His cha racter *Ands not in need of thi, declaration, it is due to mys, If. - _ _ The groundless accusations of foreign bias and infloence have been generated sotety by the violence of party spurt; and they were adopted abroad .as an apo ogy or pretence tor unprovoked aggressions.— A just sense of the injuries rrceived, and the most temperate efforts to obtain redress, constitute what has be n called partiality. And it seems to have been forgotten that, frdn the titre when Mr. Jef ferson became President till the month of Adgust 1807, no actual aggression on the neutral rights of America had been cutomitted by FrAnte ; during the same period, the nominal blockades of ertetntess ports .- by Englan !, and the annual actual blockades, as they may be called, of our own ; the renewal, contrary to express and mutual explana tions, of the depredations on the indirect colonial trade, the continued irnptlessments of • our seamen, and the attack on the Chesapeake, had actually taken place. During that period, the laws, the executive acts, the negociations of the American Government, cr9uld have been directed to that Go vernment alone from whom. injuries had been re ceived. But from the time when the rights of the United Sates were invaded by both the Belligerents; every public measure has equally embraced them both ; the like efforts, founded on the same basis, have uniformly, though without success, been matte to obtain redreSs from both ;. and the correspon dence now published furnishes at. least irreiragable proofs of the earnest desire of - Mr. Jefkrson's Ad mmistration to • adjust the differences with Great Britain, and of their disposition to remove for that purpose, whatever might serve as the shadow of a pretence for a denial of justice on her part.

The following important intelligence has been re ceived from Corunna, relative to the state of affairs in the North of Spain : Extrad of the News co - nmunieated by Von Mniti I V DE Bin GAR A, Lieutenant in General Po, LI E It'S This Gentleman comes from Navarre, where he had been sent with Ligut-Colonel MARALET, with the commission of uniting the different flying parties which had straggled from his di ision, and forming theta, as well as other flying parties, into a regular corps. This they have accomplished, and have now in Navarre a force of 4000 infantiT„ well disciplined and well armed; besides 500 . cavalry and 1500 in fantry newly Liised,who front want of muskets march in the rear of the 4000 above stated ; and, when op - por!unity offers, fall on the enemy with knivts, broad-swords, or any other arms of this nature. This Gentleman adds, that a great number of volun teers from Biscay, Eupuzeoa, and the neighbouring Provinces, presented themselves daily, but could not be admited for want of arms : a few ho,, ever were kept and drilled to the exercise. This Gentleman states, it as his opinion that 30,00 t) . men could be armed in a'very short time in the three novinces above-mentioned: this might ; he realized by effect ing a landing of 6000 men with 30,000 muskets : he adds, that the French have adopted such coer ci7e and cruel measures in Bilboa and all Biscay, that even married men fly to take up arms, abandon ing their families, &c. On the 29th ult, a party of • 700 French infantry, who were escorting thirteen carts--.o( saltpetre to Pampeluna, were attacked by ' 200 infantry and cavalry, Spaniards, on the Catras ciel (three miles distant from Pampeluna), and only 153 escaped ; the rest Were wounded or killed. • • the 1t th July; seven Volunteers (infantry) met ith a party of, 35' gees-d'arms, who were escorting the courier from Mo►►draga to France, and: t hey killed five of the gens-d'arms,.took seven horsts . and the mall bags. • On the 1411► of - July a party of 400 infantry, who . escorted ►8 carts or waggons, full of fine new Toledo sabres; were attacked by the Spaniards, who made 4U prisoners, and took the cat ts with sabres. - Every day there are skirmishes of considerable magnitude in Navarre, between the patriotic parties and the &eat - ill divisions.—The spirit of insurrec tion predommates in all -elisses, and such as had re mained quiet a,t the•commencement of this revolu tibn, from an expectation th,it the French promises could be depended on, have now discovered the falsity of their expectations, and consequently remain no longer . quiet spectators of the French atrocities. There are between 6 and 700 German troops mho have deserted from the French, and fight together With the Spanish patties, and seem hearty in the cause. There is hardly a day that does not bring forward 13 or deserters from the Freifeh. Re gular exchanges of prisoners have lately taken place I n Navarre since it has been agreed that emitter should be given on both s des. Prior to that the • prisoners were eqtrally put to death on both sides. What gave rise to this humane change, was a me morial presented by the French OtticerS at Pa.ni;e luna to their General, in' which the represented that they could not, nor _would nut submit to such a method of carrying on war. A great number of prisoners have been, made in Navarre, who have been sent to Valencia, generally 600 monthly; in short, the enthusiasm is s 6 great and so geueral, and the situation of the province is' •such, and so compromised, that they . are :deter mined to go any lengili to support those prhiciples which actively distinguish them. They have ap plied, reputedly applied, to Valencia fur -ammuni tion, 'bat without success. They are actually in • a total want of ammunition. On the 31st nit. 500•Swiss)surrenclered at Sana bria to General SoLsApa and General SItVEIRA (Portuguese).. They capitulated to be treated with all huManity,, to be sent to Swiizerland, where they would not, take up arias against the Spaniards, nor any of their Allies. Five thousand French troops made their ap, earance at Sanabria shortly after the Capitulation. , . This unexpeCted force obliged the Spaniards and - Portuguese to retire. They were fol lowed about ten miles by the French, whose intention evidently was that of rescuing the 500 prixmets, who had marched. the preceding day fur Co; unna. Given ut arunna, Aug. 18, 1810. , We understand that some important French Dis patcht..s have ben intercepted by the Spaniards, which -strongly corroborate the contents of the above Dispatch, and show that the French army is in a very critical situation: A Cadiz \lail arrived this morning,. with .Papers, from which we have inserted several . extratits, shew. , ing the Continued success of the Spaniards in that desultory mode of warfare which they have so wisely adopted, and which is so harassing and' de strudive to the French. -. The enemy are stated to have been repulsed from before Tortola with considerable loss. • Government rece'ved dispatches this morning from Cadiz, but they are dated the 2d inst. and contain nothing new. We gave yesterday the substance of dispatches of a later date. Paris Papers reached town yesterday, to the 20th instant, and some addlional German Journals. ". • The former contain MASSENA'S ' account of the af fair on the Coa, on the 24th ult. and whith is mo• t . extravagantly misrepresented. The force under General CRAUFURD is Magnified to 2,000 Cavalry, and 8,000 infantry; and the lo,s whichiit sustained is stated at 1,500 men, besides one stand` of colours. and two pieces of artillery. The number of officers Idled is set down at tiO, twenty-four of whom are stated (with that most scrupulous regard lb veracity for which the French are so pie-eminent) to have beet) actually buried in the field of battle. MASSENA seems determined to revenge himself for not being able to beat the 1311!ish army, by at least gaining a victory over truth. He estimates the loss of his own army in this - affair at 300 men,' and which we may therefore fairly conclnde to have been considerably greater. This most accurately written dispatch of MASSEN A'S is dated from Salamanca. If the intelligence in . the German Papers, dated from Hungary, the 27th ult. is to be relied upon, the Turkish army is very critically situated; it being stated that the GRAND VIZIER retreated to Adrianople, and thAt the Rus,iaus, had turned them, and placed themselves on the road to Constan tinople. It was reported this morning, that a communica tion had been recei►ed from Mr. MACKENZIE, rela tive to the exchange of prisoners, but we believe the rumour is without foundatiou. ~- ~ p -: -• • - J SAINISTI JULY 9 : —On Friday r,t o'clock in the morning, entered Mouna, the division of Valenciari troops, under the command Of Capt. FALION. The 'enemy :retired to the , castle', where they are without cannon and other necessaries. They, Were summoned to surrender, b n t yesterday they continued to defend thennse►ves. Tottosa began to open its fire on Wednesday, and 'continued; it on the sth and 611) ; and according to a letter written frOin the said city, , the enemy have had ckjo' and a peat number wounded. . It likewise states, with great probability, that we have had anotl►f r action near BalOques, in, w hick the enemy lost 3000 men, and add that' by Mora upon the Ebro, we have sunk Feeirch cannon which were upon .the river.

ALICANT, JULY 13.—They write from Cartha gena, that on the gth inst. 40 French prisoners ar rived in that place, and 24 waggons with irain, clothes, hats, and other articles, the value of which amounts to one million of riall, and 250 ounces of gold. This seizure was made by a party , composed of 40 men, commanded by a youth 18 years old. The same morning two letters of marque also en tered the port, laden with brandy and other valaable articles, which were captured by the same party in the port of Almura. This gallant youth, with his party, attacked the fort of S. Josef, distant two leagues from Almura, killed the Governor, with six men of the garrison, and spiked 13 pieces of cannon, the only ordnance found in the place. A letter from Vittoria, the capital of the Province of Aiara, states that the regiment of lipanish prison ers in. France entered Spain by Irun, but vanished the -first day, and were seen no more.
